210 | 3 Protein Mistakes That Keep Women From Losing Weight

Are you eating healthy but still struggling to lose weight after 40? The missing piece might not be another workout or cutting more carbs—it could be protein. If you've been frustrated by stubborn belly fat, low energy, cravings, or watching muscle disappear despite your best efforts, this episode is for you. Today we're talking about one of the biggest game changers for women in perimenopause and menopause: protein. I'll explain why your body needs more protein than it did in your younger years, what anabolic resistance means, and the three protein mistakes I see women making every day that can quietly stall fat loss and muscle building. We'll also talk about how protein supports blood sugar, helps reduce cravings, preserves lean muscle, and why nourishing your body is far more powerful than trying to eat less. My prayer is that by the end of this episode you'll stop asking, "How little can I eat?" and begin asking, "How can I best support my body today?"
